I'm in love with BAMF Watson, particularly when he's a quiet BAMF Watson. Here are some that I really love.
This is one of my favorites. (You will really love this one.) The Republic of Heaven (http://blind-author.livejournal.com/4144.html#cutid1). John is certainly quietly extraordinary. It's lovely. It's an AU based on His Dark Materials/The Golden Compass and the BBC-verse. I should point out that I have neither seen nor read those movies or books, but I did not have any trouble following the fic. For all that's it's AU, it's close to the show canon. It's a WIP, but she doesn't end chapters with cliffhangars, so every section feels like it's tied up on it's own.
Ridiculous (http://kate-everson.livejournal.com/10190.html). It's another AU, with a kind of crossover to Brandon Flowers "Crossfire" song. John is still in Afghanistan, and he's a bamf SAS "special situations" type of solider. He keeps having to rescue this "consulting specialist", who keeps getting himself into trouble.
Underestimated (http://www.squidge.org/peja/cgi-bin/viewstory.php?sid=49807). Sebastian Moran severely underestimates John Watson, when he Moriarty takes Sherlock.
Monster (http://moony.livejournal.com/1614661.html). Sherlock decides to fight fire with fire, and turns to crime in an attempt to seduce Moriarty out of hiding. I can't tell you about John's role in this without completely giving it away. But I think you'll like it.
